Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We always look forward to when the mums bloom around here and are glad we grow so many, for bees and butterflies swarm to these last blooms of the year, including a few tardy Monarchs. This hardy cultivar grows up to 3 feet but can be pinched once in early summer (June) for a more compact bushy habit. Buds appear a dusty rose-pink opening to soft yellow in fall with a lingering blush of pink.
